SonicFileFinder 2.1 released

SonicFileFinder is a free add-in for Visual Studio that allows a fast and convenient search for any file within every Project of the loaded Solution by entering the complete filename or just a part of it. The found file(s) can either be edited with a single keystroke or a Windows Explorer / CommandLine prompt can be opened at the file's location.

What's new?

Version 2.1 is a small add-on release to 2.0.

Note: SonicFileFinder now requires .NET Framework 3.5 to run!

  • ADDED: Support for F# project types. (This should also fix some problems with other strange project types.) Sadly the F# project doesn't expose file events, like "added" or "removed". Thus SonicFileFinder can see removed or added files only after reloading the solution.
  • CHANGED: Removed the Live Preview feature.
  • CHANGED: Split the configuration dialog into "Appearance" und "Features".
  • FIXED: Opening a Master Page in a standard ASP.NET Web Project now opens the Master Page not the the code behind file.

Download it on the SonicFileFinder website.

I love you add-on

I use it in my everyday work in Visual Studio 2008.

Thanks

Is there a place I can download the previous versions?

But the latest version requires framework 3.5, I cannot install it on my 2.0 + vs2005 dev machine.
Is there a place where i can download the older versions?

Thanks!

Hi there, this is a great

Hi there,

this is a great plugin - I've been using it from version 1.7

However, there is one feature that will (I think) improve the usability - to display the file icon next to the name if possible.

It will be helpful especially for web development - a lot of files have same name, but sometimes I need codebehind file, sometimes html, etc.

Anyway, good job!

Thank you so much

...for your kind words!
I'll put the feature on the feature list, but I can't promise anything ;)

SonicFileFinder crashs with VB WebSite Solution

Hi Jens,

this is a great plugin for VS2008.

I have a Web Application in C#, this works pretty well, but I also have a VB WebSite Application and your plugin crashed it when I want to start the Solution.

Do you know what's wrong with this kind of project ?

Do you have a issues list where all troubles are referenced ?

Thanks for your help.

Sorry!

...for replying so late, but I recognized your comment yesterday, because no notification e-mail has been send.
I can't stage your problem here, but I will get back to you by e-mail in a few minutes.

Lovin SonicFinder

Hi Jens,

Just wanted to say thanks for putting together SonicFinder. I got hooked on a way to quickly get to files after using Mac's textmate - it's really addictive and, more importantly, effective.

Needless to say, being able to have this same functionality in Visual Studio is freakishly helpful.

Thanks much!
